Privacy Policy

Who we are

Cliptor is operated by Aleksander Lukashou. For any privacy question, the data controller and contact is Aleksander Lukashou, reachable at aleksander.lukashou@gmail.com.

What we collect

Cliptor collects only what it needs to run your personal saved-content library:

• Your email address, used to sign you in with a magic link (there are no passwords).
• The clips, articles, notes, and URLs you save, and content derived from them — extracted text, transcripts, AI-generated descriptions of visible video content, categories, summaries, and search embeddings.
• Basic usage activity, such as which saved library items you open, so the library can organise and surface your content.
• The questions you ask in chat and the answers Cliptor generates, stored on our servers so your conversations are still there when you come back.
• Your AI-sharing consent decision — whether you agreed, when you agreed, and, if you later withdraw it, when you withdrew it.
• Any feedback you choose to submit.
• Referral information when you use the invite program: your public invite code, which account invited which new account, qualification status, and any promotional Plus time earned. Inviters never see an invited person’s email address or library content.

Why we collect it

We use this data to authenticate you, to store your saved content and let you browse and search your own library, and to improve the product. We do not show advertising, and we do not sell your data.

Third-party processors

Cliptor relies on a small number of third-party services that process data on its behalf. Its AI features — transcribing clips, describing visible video content, generating summaries and categories, building search embeddings, and answering your questions in chat — run on OpenRouter, which routes each request to the models that handle it; for chat, Google Gemini writes the answer and TypeSafe Jev makes bounded category and relevance selections, with Google and TypeSafe acting as model operators. Two further processors, described here by function rather than by name, fetch clip and public article data and send your login emails. These providers act only as processors carrying out those functions for the app; they are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

AI features and your data

When you ask Cliptor’s chat a question, this is exactly what leaves the app:

• Your question.
• Up to twelve saved-item previews for source selection, then only the saved items picked as sources for that particular answer — at most eight full items, never your whole library.
• Sent to OpenRouter, and from there to Google and TypeSafe as model operators, for selecting relevant sources and writing the answer you asked for.
• Nothing is used to train models.

Cliptor asks for your permission before chat sends anything to those providers, and it will not use chat until you agree. You can take that permission back at any time in the app, under Settings → AI CHAT → Withdraw AI consent. Chat then stops and asks again the next time you open it.

Saving an item uses AI too, and it is worth being plain about it. When you save a clip or an article, its audio, text, and visible video content are sent to OpenRouter to be transcribed, described, summarised, sorted into categories, and turned into the search embeddings that make your library searchable; a separate service, described above by function, fetches the clip or article in the first place. That processing is what turns a link into a library item, so it runs when you choose to save something rather than behind a separate prompt — but the same rules apply: these providers act only on Cliptor’s behalf, and nothing sent to them is used to train models.

Notifications and reminders

Cliptor sends push notifications only if you turn them on. Doing so adds three things to what it holds:

• Device notification tokens.When you enable notifications, the app registers a push token issued by Apple or Google for that device, kept together with the device’s platform, its timezone, and the app version. It identifies a device install rather than you, it is used only to deliver the notifications you asked for, and it is deleted when you sign out on that device, when Apple or Google reports that the token has stopped working, or when you delete your account.
• Notification preferences. Whether reminders are switched on, and how often you want the digest — daily, weekly, or off. Those are the only two kinds of notification Cliptor sends.
• Reminder content. The reminder text you wrote or confirmed, the time you chose, the timezone you were in when you chose it, and — if you set the reminder from a saved item — a link back to that item. Reminders are stored on our servers rather than on one handset, so they survive a reinstall and read the same on every device you sign into.

What the notification itself shows matters, because a phone displays it on the lock screen before anyone signs in. A reminder shows the reminder text you wrote, so you decide what can appear there. The digest is written from the categories of items you saved and have not opened yet: it never names a saved item and never states a count. Item names appear only inside the app, after you sign in.

Delivery goes through Firebase Cloud Messaging, which passes the message on to Apple Push Notification service on iOS. They act only as processors carrying the message to your device on Cliptor’s behalf, on the same terms as the other providers described above; they are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

Retention & your rights

Your data is kept for as long as your account exists, with one exception: stored chat history is capped at your 50 most recent chat messages (your questions and Cliptor’s answers each count as one message), and older messages are removed automatically as you keep chatting. You can permanently delete your account and its associated data at any time — that includes your chat history and your AI-sharing consent record. See how to delete your account for the exact steps and what is erased versus retained.
